Open House:

Wow! We had a wonderful turn out for open house. What a lucky group of students to have families that are so supportive of their education.  Thank you so much to all of you for all you do to support your kids and get them here and ready to learn everyday! I hope you enjoyed seeing what they have been working on this year.


Leader of the Week:
We have now started our Leader of the Week rotation.  So keep an eye out for your student to bring home the Leader of the Week envelope in their book bag so that they can have a week in the spot light in our classroom.  We want to make sure they realize how much we enjoy having them in our classroom by taking some extra time to get to know them.

Leader In Me Assembly:
We have just started working on our first student led assembly!  The assembly will be October 1st at 8:30.  The students have chosen to focus on habit number 6 Synergize.  The students will be involved in some skits, cheers, and creating posters for the event.  It will be a short assembly and we would love to have you stop by if you are able. I will be posting some pictures and possibly a video to our webpage for those that are unable to attend!

Rotations:
·      Mrs. Sheahan- we have been focusing on Habit #1.
·      Mrs. Kullow finished up the students getting to share all about themselves (they each had an all about me card)

Daily 5

These kids have been working hard already this year on building their stamina in reading and writing.  The students have been learning about the importance of building stamina and maintaining focus when working.  We talk about strategies to help us focus and do our best and then we apply those strategies by practicing our different daily 5 centers.  The students seem to enjoy read to self about the most so far.
